A Brief History of Snow Hill, Maryland

Chartered in 1686, this small settlement grew and prospered as a farming and business community with the Pocomoke River playing a key role. Snow Hill became the county seat in 1742, when the county was formed. It has remained a trading, commercial and governmental hub of a rich agricultural area.

A disastrous fire destroyed the original downtown in 1893 but, fortunately, many of the historic homes and public buildings remain. Its appearance of quiet elegance and tree-lined streets contrast with the bustle of county business. The Pocomoke River attracts boaters, canoers, kayakers, fishermen, birdwatchers--and is a beautiful setting for concerts at the pavilion.

Just a few miles from Snow Hill the Nassawango Iron Furnace brings Worcester County history to life. Now a living history museum, it recreates daily life during the mid-nineteenth Century. From 1828 to 1850, the Nassawango Iron Furnace was in its heyday. Hundreds of people -- miners, sawyers and colliers, molders and firemen, carters, draymen and bargemen -- were engaged in gathering iron ore from the nearby bogs, smelting it day and night in the furnace, and loading cooled pig iron bars into barges to be floated down Nassawango Creek to the Pocomoke River.
